Even after I improved a bit, I was afraid to step outside! I first ordered a heavy chain with triangular spikes, which did not serve my purpose, and the rubber was so thick that I couldn’t get it on my boots! Then I saw that these were best sellers. So I ordered a pair and I can’t express how relieved I am! They are just perfect…….not at all cumbersome, but very efficient! I highly recommend them, and only wish I had purchased them before my fall! THANK YOU!”

They have over 50,000 raving reviews, one of them stating, “I don’t usually write reviews, but I HAD to for this product! I commute work on the bus, and I live in Chicago. The winters here are brutal, to say the least. I have a great long winter coat, but my legs were always cold. You never know how long you will have to wait at a bus stop, even with the tracker. I decided to purchase these snow pants in a large so I could keep my work pants on underneath. This past week in Chicago was extremely cold, and let me tell you, I felt nothing except warmth. I couldn’t believe it! These pants are amazing! There is elastic at the end of the liner around the ankle to keep any cold wind from sneaking in.”

OutdoorMaster Ski Goggles OTG
These $28 ski goggles are sleek and comfortable. They have UV protection and over 22,200 five-star reviews, one of them raving, “I didn’t want to spend a gazillion dollars on goggles. Thankfully these fit the bill! I liked the way they looked, how they fit and how they worked on the slopes during a near blizzard for most of the day. For as bad as the conditions were, they were amazing goggles. I would highly recommend you buy these instead of any other brand!!!”
MOERDENG Women’s Waterproof Ski Jacket
For $40 and with over 28,000 positive Amazon reviews, this waterproof ski jacket is well worth the hype. One reviewer explains, “This jacket is very nice, well made, comfortable, lots of nice pockets, the hood fits well, zippers are very easy to zip/unzip, sleeves are just the perfect length, all the pockets are very nice, and it is very water resistant, water repels off easily, and you stay nice and dry.

Columbia Women’s Ice Maiden II Snow Boot
These snow boots from Columbia are super comfy, cozy, stylish and on sale! They have over 32,000 raving reviews, on explaining, “Nice fit, these are comfortable to wear for longer walks and/or all day. Warm enough for prolonged outdoor use and somehow don’t make your feet sweaty even if you are indoors for hours. Great snow traction and decent traction on ice. They have a profile like a normal work boot instead of the bulk of a tradition snow boot so, you don’t have to clomp about, but can just walk as usual allowing for the longer wear time. Styling is far better than most snow boots.”
